Having your item(s) appraised involves deep research seeking factors such as the artist or maker, period, materials, condition as well as authenticity, and provenance or documented ownership history. In addition, your appraisal will be your certificate of authenticity (COA) necessary for tax and litigation purposes; donating, selling, and/or inheritance.
Appraisals may be conducted in person (702), as well as virtual (worldwide) for your safety and convenience.
To begin, simply email a photo or two of your item(s) and/or a brief description, and I will be in touch with you requesting an answer to several questions. If you have many items to be appraised or valuated, such as for an estate or similar need, please advise.
I will let you know immediately if your item(s) is out of my forte. There are some items I do not appraise.
I look forward to working with you!
My certifications include USPAP, AIA, CAF, PACC, and a graduate of the acclaimed Asheford Institute of Antiques. In addition, an advanced degree in Cultural Anthropology. I have studied vintage and antiques for years, curating and appraising, 2nd generation.
My emphasis is music memorabilia and other varied pop/entertainment culture.
